Overview

• The Bureau of Prisons confirmed on August 1 that Maxwell was moved from FCI Tallahassee to minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas—a facility not normally designated for sex offenders.
• Under BOP policy, sex offenders must reside in at least low-security prisons unless granted a waiver by the Designation and Sentence Computation Center administrator; officials have declined to disclose why Maxwell’s waiver was approved.
• Former BOP internal affairs chief Robert Hood called the move a “travesty of justice” and retired investigator Vito Maraviglia said the decision doesn’t “pass the smell test,” noting no precedent for such reclassification.
• Her relocation followed a two-day, nine-hour session with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as she seeks immunity for her testimony and pursues Supreme Court appeals.
• Maxwell remains at the all-women camp in Bryan, Texas, serving her 20-year sentence for grooming girls for Jeffrey Epstein, and her case is intensifying questions over prison transparency and accountability.
